Would someone else besides the original claimant verify if indeed there are audible voices asking, "how do you turn this off?" - that would be absolute evidence of the SWAT team members having entered his private home.

Now, does the negotiation not stand as a legal contract? The homeowner negotiated to be able to lock his home before surrendering....Why does this legal contract hold no weight?

Is it because the legal contract is solely between the two individuals? So, as long as the Lieutenant acting as negotiator did not violate the legal contract by entering the house (the other SWAT team members actually enter), then that is how the legal contract is maintained?

I see no reason why an astute attorney could not bring this point to a civil court.

I'm sure they requested the warrant before they even arrived on scene. They knew the studio was still running, and that he specifically said they weren't invited into the home. They would have to be pretty dumb to enter without the warrant.

"A Baltimore blogger wanted on a court-issued warrant surrendered without incident to authorities late Saturday after broadcasting on Internet radio his negotiations with police who had surrounded his home.

Police said 47-year-old Frank James MacArthur emerged late Saturday evening. He had remained inside his home when law-enforcement officers sought at around 6 p.m. to serve a warrant issued in June by his probation agent stemming from a 2009 gun case. Authorities said MacArthur had missed a court hearing.

With a tactical unit outside, MacArthur broadcast his talks with a police negotiator on The Baltimore Spectator website.

MacArthur expressed frustration about his treatment by police, telling listeners, "I am surrounded by a bunch of men with guns."

Lt. Col. Garnell Green said the tactical unit was called in because MacArthur had recently issued threats on Twitter against officers who might try to arrest him.

Green said MacArthur is being charged with a probation violation, and that police will discuss with prosecutors whether he will face other charges.

He said officers have been trying to apprehend MacArthur for several days.

The Baltimore Sun reports that MacArthur has been a gadfly on local issues, and had been posting on social media for several days about his "fugitive" status and alleging that police would try to harm him. He claimed he was never notified about the court date.

During talks with the Baltimore police negotiator, Lt. Jason Yerg, MacArthur continued to express concerns about his safety.

He criticized the heavy police presence at his Waverly home, saying of the negotiator, "He needs to be battling bad guys, not spending his time talking to The Baltimore Spectator."

MacArthur said he would come out at around 10:30 p.m., but then offered more commentary. At one point he thanked CNN commentator Roland Martin for expressing interest in his case via Twitter. Martin advised MacArthur, "You NEED to go outside," and also Tweeted that MacArthur's attorney should meet him at the police station.

The police found a sawed off shot gun in his house with ammo. He did not make bond and may face another gun charge.

Thank you all for paying attention. Some of you got it, many of you didn't. But that's OK, what's most important is that the actions of the police were being observed by many. In the near future when they use all sorts of excuses and justifications to go after many more independent thinkers with alternative views, you'll remember what I tried to bring attention to.
